Matlab paper illustration drawing template issue 39 - stairs

In the previous post , Shared Matlab Drawing template of line chart ：

Three dimensional line chart Drawing template for ：

As well as some Special line diagram ：

This time I will share a kind of line diagram ： Stairs .

Let's take a look first Finished product effect ：

hot tip ：Matlab Thesis illustration drawing template series , It aims to reduce the use of Matlab The threshold for scientific research mapping , Just add the corresponding content according to the template format , You can get data illustrations that meet the format requirements of most journals and dissertations . If you feel useful, you can share it with your friends .

---

The most critical part of the template ：

1. Data preparation

This part is mainly Reading data , Define arguments 、 The dependent variable .

%  Reading data %  Define arguments x = linspace(0,4*pi,30)';%  Define the dependent variable samp1 = 0.5*cos(x);samp2 = 1*cos(1.5*x);samp3 = 1.5*cos(0.5*x);samp4 = 1.5*cos(x);

2. Color definition

Color matching tests personal aesthetics , Need to try more .

here Directly use the previously shared colorplus Tools ：

%%  Color definition C = colorplus([34 202 83 104]);C1 = C(1,:);C2 = C(2,:);C3 = C(3,:);C4 = C(4,:);

3. Ladder diagram drawing

Use ‘stairs’ command , draw A step map without beautification .

S1 = stairs(x, samp1);
S2 = stairs(x, samp2);
S3 = stairs(x, samp3);
S4 = stairs(x, samp4);
hXLabel = xlabel('Point spacing (m)');
hYLabel = ylabel('MAE (m)');

4. Detail optimization

For the beauty of illustrations , Choose a good color before applying , And adjust other properties of the line .

%  Define lineweight and color ( Or Linetype 、 Symbol 、 Lineweight and color )set(S1, 'LineWidth', 1.5,  'Color', C1)set(S2, 'LineWidth', 1.5,  'Color', C2)set(S3, 'LineWidth', 1.5,  'Color', C3)set(S4, 'LineWidth', 1.5,  'Color', C4)% set(S1, 'LineStyle', '-', 'Marker', '.', 'MarkerSize', 18, 'LineWidth', 1.5, 'Color', C1)% set(S2, 'LineStyle', '-', 'Marker', '*', 'LineWidth', 1.5,  'Color', C2)% set(S3, 'LineStyle', '-', 'Marker', 'o', 'LineWidth', 1.5,  'Color', C3)% set(S4, 'LineStyle', '-', 'Marker', 's', 'LineWidth', 1.5,  'Color', C4)

further , Adjust axis 、 Font size 、 Background color and other details ：

%  Axis beautification set(gca, 'Box', 'off', ...                                         %  Frame          'XGrid', 'off', 'YGrid', 'on', ...                        %  grid          'TickDir', 'out', 'TickLength', [.01 .01], ...            %  scale          'XMinorTick', 'off', 'YMinorTick', 'off', ...             %  Small scale          'XColor', [.1 .1 .1],  'YColor', [.1 .1 .1],...           %  Axis color          'XTick', 0:2:14,...         'XLim', [0 4*pi],...         'YTick', -2:0.5:2, ...         'YLim', [-1.7 2])ax2 = axes('Position',get(gca,'Position'),...           'XAxisLocation','top',...           'YAxisLocation','right',...           'Color','none',...           'XColor','k','YColor','k');set(ax2,'YTick', []);set(ax2,'XTick', []);box on% LegendhLegend = legend([S1,S2,S3,S4], ...                 'Samp1', 'Samp2','Samp3','Samp4', ...                 'Location', 'northeast',...                 'orientation','horizontal');%  Font size set(gca, 'FontName', 'Arial', 'FontSize', 9)set([hXLabel,hYLabel,hLegend], 'FontName',  'Arial', 'FontSize', 10)%  The background color set(gcf,'Color',[1 1 1])

After setting up , With the resolution required by the journal 、 Format output picture .

%%  Image output figW = figureWidth;figH = figureHeight;set(figureHandle,'PaperUnits',figureUnits);set(figureHandle,'PaperPosition',[0 0 figW figH]);fileout = 'test2';print(figureHandle,[fileout,'.png'],'-r300','-dpng');

above .
